About Recoil Now

Recoil Now™ develops practical training tools for manual therapy education. Its products are designed to support structured, independent practice — helping students build control, consistency, and confidence outside formal teaching sessions. The aim is not laboratory-level measurement, but usable, interpretable feedback that supports real-world skill development.


Founder

Recoil Now™ was founded by Stephen Paul Howard, a chiropractor with over 30 years of clinical experience working within multidisciplinary healthcare settings. He has taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with a focus on high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manual therapy techniques.

Stephen is the designer of RN-1. The device was developed through the integration of clinical teaching experience and hands-on product design — combining practical educational insight with iterative prototyping, electronics development, and functional testing.
